Introducing the 8 Week BCycle Training Program

By

This is what you’ve been waiting for, Kelowna!

Whether your just want to feel more comfortable and confident in spin class, or you’re training for a triathlon or Gran Fondo, the BCycle 8 Week Training Program is the perfect way to improve your cycling game, no matter what your current fitness level is.

The BCycle Training Program is a series of 8 spin classes for all fitness levels and is designed to accelerate your cycling ability and improve your overall performance on a bike; whether that’s indoors or outdoors.

In this 8 week registered program, each class will include a warm-up, the workout and a cool down.  The workout portion is executed in intervals that follow a progressive format and periodized structure.  The intervals are designed to help develop stronger cycling in specific zones as well as to help improve technique.  The instructor doesn’t ride for this class, her job is solely to be on the floor coaching you each and every step of the way!

The 8 week program runs on Wednesdays at 5:00PM on the following dates:
January 8, 15, 22,29
February 5, 19, 26
March 4

The instructor for this exciting cycling program is Robin Wallouch.

The class breakdown is as follows:

Class 1 (January 8th, 2020): This workout is designed to find your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) which is commonly defined as the highest average power you can sustain for one hour, measured on the bike in watts.  FTP will be used to determine your training zones for all sessions going forward.  Our first class will be a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as your basis for what you will do later in the 20 minute all out effort.  

Class 2 (January 15th, 2020) :  This session will focus on hard, short efforts followed by settling back into a constant effort.  

Class 3 (January 22nd, 2020): Will focus on anaerobic bursts, followed by sweet spot training.  “Sweet spot” refers to an intensity of training that is hard enough to elicit substantial physiological benefits, but not so hard as to be unsustainable.  It’s 85-95% of your average threshold power.  

Class 4 (January 29rd, 2020): Will focus on steady building from 75% -115% of your FTP.  

Class 5 (February 5th, 2020): Will focus on 30 second efforts with short recoveries to boost your VO2 power (just love your FTP).

Class 6 (February 19th, 2020):  The super peaks pyramid will focus on short intensity in the anaerobic capacity zone.  

Class 7 (February 26th, 2020):  Will focus on sprints. This session is designed to simulate the demands of a road race, in which you are sprinting to get away from a group.

Class 8 (March 4th, 2020): This session will be Time Trials. It will start with a 12 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute all out effort which will serve as your basis for what you will do in your 20 minute all out effort.  This class will allow you to see how much you’ve improved from the first session.  

 

The program cost is $240 per person and there are limited spots available so register as soon as you can to ensure your place in this exciting program.

If you have any questions, or if you’d like more information please don’t hesitate to ask!

Introducing the “B Friends Referral Program”

By

We are thrilled to announce the rollout of our new B Friends Referral Program. With this referral program you, our lovely and loyal members will be given the opportunity to receive free classes or a discount on your monthly membership!

Here’s how it works; you retrieve your unique referral link by following these steps:

  1. Log into your account – B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio
  2. Click “My Account”
  3. Select “My Info”

Here you will see a section titled “Referrals” with an “invite a friend” link on the far right, send that link to your friends.

Once a friend creates a new account using the link you sent them, they will be registered as your referral. There are two different referral perks, dependent on which type of membership you have.

  1. If you have an unlimited membership

If your membership is:
The B Pass
B Committed
B Our Family

If your referral also signs up for one of the above memberships you will receive $10 off every month that your referral continues their membership.

ADDED PERK: If you are on the B Our Family pass, your referee is eligible to sign up for the B Our Family pass as well, even though it is no longer a public offering.  Friends supporting friends <3

This perk is virtually unlimited; if you pay $130/month for the B Pass, and 5 of your friends sign up for The B Pass as well, your next payments will be $80/month for as long as those friends continue with their unlimited membership.

  1. If you are using punch passes

Using your unique referral link – you will receive 5 FREE CLASSES, once your referee spends $250.   This is a one time reward (you will not be granted another 5 free classes when they reach $500, etc.) You can however, refer an unlimited number of new people, and receive 5 free classes from each of THEIR purchases. One referee = one chance to receive 5 free classes.

This is a new program, so while we truly appreciate any referrals you have already made, only new accounts created using the referral link will be eligible.

How to Own Your Fitness This Fall

By

Making the shift from summer to fall can make sticking to your wellness schedule challenging. How do you overcome this challenge and start this new season strong? Setting clear expectations of what an ideal fall self care schedule looks like will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed down the road.

Here are some of our tips to help you stay focused and ready to own your fitness this fall:

PLAN AHEAD
We understand that life can be chaotic, but research has shown that booking your “Me Time” in advance helps you keep a better life balance because you feel less guilty taking that spin class, or going to that appointment if it’s been planned for weeks. So put it in your calendar (in pen!) and book your spin class or strength class FOR YOU.

RECRUIT A FRIEND
Accountability 101. Find a friend/spouse/child or anyone you can recruit to commit to working out with you, at least for 30 days. Creating a routine will make it easier, and having that person holding you accountable when happy hour is calling your name will help keep you in check, and on point.

Don’t have a friend like that? We’ll be your friend! Book in with a personal trainer here and you’ll be held accountable for your workouts, and you’ll gain a new fitness focused friend for the long haul!

MAKE A PLAN
As they say, “a goal without a plan is just a wish.” What is your goal? Lose 10lbs? Keep up with your kids? Fit into that outfit again? Or just have an easier time going up the stairs? Whatever your goal is, write that sh*t down and make it happen! We’re happy to help you come up with a plan that will help you accomplish that goal! Want to lose a few pounds and tone up? GREAT! Dependent on a lot of different factors, we would start with recommending 1 strength class a week, 1 spin class a week and 1 combination class. See, it’s not hard; but getting started is. Make that first step now.

MORE STRETCH – LESS STRESS
Top contributor to disease and weight gain? STRESS! Solution? RELAX! We know, easier said than done, but working out has been proven to reduce stress and improve overall well-being, so book that class (see a spin + stretch class? BOOK THAT) and sweat and stretch out your stress so that you will be a happier and more productive member of society.

You can handle this. 

A Different Kind Of Spin Class – A Different Kind Of Spin Bike

By

What makes the spin classes at B so exceptional?! Well, how long do you have? We have so many reasons to tell you why our classes are amazing, BUT we’d like to keep this article short and highlight just three of our favourites:

  1. The class styles. Love the new age spin with push-ups, dips and tap backs in the dark? it HHit a RIDE class. Prefer to keep things simpler (equally as challenging) but don’t love riding to the beat of the music? Try our Classic Rides, designed to feel more like a road ride.
  2. The instructors! Did you know most of our instructors have YEARS of teaching experience? These motivators not only talk the talk, but they walk the walk. If you’re hitting a Classic Ride class, you better believe those ladies know how to road ride. Be prepared to learn, to grow and to be pushed.
  3. Last, but certainly not least, our BIKES! Why are our bikes so great? We thought we’d let the Johnny G Spirit Bike explain for itself:

    “The Johnny G Spirit Bike is the perfect innovation – with the past molded and forged into the future. Electronically-controlled magnetic resistance creates an opportunity to duplicate, replicate and differentiate your training sessions. Key performance metrics are accessible at all times on the high-visibility LED display. The cockpit-style console has been strategically crafted to transport you into an elevated state of performance through the integration of mind and body.

  • Electronically controlled magnetic resistance system with multiple adjustment touch points.
  • Belt drive system provides the feel of a road bike.
  • Solid steel construction and triple powder coated for durability.
  • Smart, Bluetooth® and ANT+™ enabled electronics.
  • Proprietary handlebar design for comfort and resistance buttons at your fingertips regardless of ride position.”

Why You Need Spin Class AND a Personal Trainer

By

“If you always do what you‘ve always done, you‘ll always get what you‘ve always got.” ― Henry Ford. 

It’s really quite simple; if you are trying to change your weight, shape, agility, strength, or body fat %,  and what you’re currently doing isn’t working (even if it worked before), you need to make changes, and we’re guessing if you knew what those changes were you would already be doing them…so it is time for you to try working with one of our amazing personal trainers and learn what you need to know to reach your goals, prevent injury and stay motivated and accountable.

 

Did you know that a personal trainer is a great addition to your group fitness classes too? You bet they are! The spin classes at B are an amazing workout, but you don’t need someone holding your hand while your sweat out all your sins on the bike, do that in dark, with like minded members and THEN let us hold your hand as we address form, injury prevention, diet and goals privately while we work on the strength you need.

 

A personal trainer is so important for so many reasons, but here are the top 10 signs you’re ready for a personal trainer and it’s time you tried private personal training sessions:

 

  1. You’re ready to see results
  2. You don’t even know where to start
  3. You are bored with your “workouts”
  4. You are ready to be challenged to become a better version of yourself
  5. You’re ready for the knowledge you need to workout on your own when you want
  6. You need to be motivated, and held accountable
  7. You’re working through an injury to rehab
  8. You have a specific event, tournament, or sport final coming up
  9. You want hands on guidance to make sure you’re doing what is right for YOUR body – those Instagram ‘how to’ videos just aren’t cutting it.
  10. You don’t do well in groups at the gym. Privacy please.

 

If you can relate to any of these signs, then it’s time you came into B Indoor Cycle & Strength Studio (maybe even hop in on that killer spin class you’ve been scared to try) and talked with one of our personal trainers about getting started – and take advantage of a discounted rate of $70/session when you purchase ten sessions.

 

Create Balance This Summer – Spin + Strength + Patio Time

By

 We are lucky to live in one of the most beautiful places in the world – Kelowna! We are spoiled with all of the best wineries, lakes and trails just in our backyard, but it can often be difficult to fit everything in, AND stay committed to your health and fitness routine, right? We understand. That’s why our spin classes, strength classes and bootcamps are just 45 minutes long; you’re in and out within the hour, giving you more time to live your best life in the beautiful Okanagan.

So what’s the easiest way to create that perfect balance? We recommend using the following tips to help you plan your days:

 

  1. Keep a Routine: It’s easy to get out of your routine in the summer months! With company in town, more events and activities than you’re used to means your “normal” suffers. But, if you want that spin class on your schedule – book it in! Even if you only come twice a week, book yourself in and work your day around it. If you attend the 9:15AM spin class every Tuesday and Thursday it becomes less daunting than trying to fit it in between all of your other plans.
  2. Consistency is Key. While it’s fun to take time off, the summer often makes us guilty of overindulging, which means we need to keep up with our fitness more than ever. Have fun, but try and keep your exercise routine somewhat consistent amongst your chaotic summer plans.
  3. Make it a Group Activity. The only thing better than sweating out all of your summer sins in a killer spin class or bootcamp, is to bring a friend in with you! Misery loves company, right? All jokes aside, we find a lot of out of town visitors really do appreciate a fun and healthy morning activity once in a while! Your mimosa will still be waiting for you when you’re done.
  4. Workout Smarter. You know the “basic gym workout” where if you’re like most people, your efficiency is mediocre, at best, and your intensity is anything but stellar. But you are THERE, working out so it counts for something. And you’re not wrong, it is certainly better than nothing, but we encourage you to try and workout smarter this summer. Join us for a 45 minute spin class, bootcamp or strength training class and maximize your time. Looking for a little bit more? You could also try out one of our combo classes; that is a 30 minutes spin class followed by 30 minutes of strength training. One power hour workout.

Once you’re done your workout at B, you’re also just a few steps away from the Eldorado and Smack Dab… your patio time awaits!We hope you all have an absolutely amazing Kelowna summer and we hope to see you in class soon!
